“A spaceship is traveling at 2000 miles/hour when it emerges from a wormhole in space. It is immediately trapped in a magnetic field of 2 million Tesla cast by a neutron star. What is the resultant change in temperature and angular velocity of a cup of coffee inside the spaceship?”
Nopes, this is not a rhetoric or a sci-fi. This is one of the questions in the IIT Physics Joint Entrance Examination this year. Yaar, if only we had gotten such sitters in the JEE when we took the exam! Would have totally maxed it, man!
Funny thing is, janata was actually complaining after the exam that it was too hard. Que the fuck?! I am finding the new crop of students is too overconfident, but don’t have the necessary knowledge-base to tackle such conceptual problems. Last year, when the JEE papers were leaked before the exam, janata still couldn’t solve the problems!! So guys: don’t talk big now and make “sarci” comments about this year’s exams!
My dream (long-term) is to set up quality coaching camps for JEE in poor villages. Global economy cannot be taken for granted these days, and only the most well-prepared students can stand to take full advantage of it. I have been compiling a JEE question bank over the last four years, please email me if you have any good problems!
